Christmas 2019 (Abe’s in Toyland) Prize Guide: Act 3, Prizes 5 Philip Hefflin

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Christmas still continues in our pocket-sized towns!  By now the snow is starting to get old, and the residents of Springfield are starting to debating when to take their Christmas trees to the curb.  But alas…the story continues in TSTO…

Abe’s in Toyland follows the same event structure of the Multi-Events before it.  This event consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting a week and taking us through a new part of the event!

For Week 3 Act 3, we’re following the third, Grampa Saves Christmas, story…a tale about how he saved America from a communist Toy Company!  All of the prizes unlocked during week 3 play a role in that storyline.

So let’s take a look at prize 5 Philip Hefflin…

The Art of Abe Simpson Pt. 1
Philip starts

Grampa: Well, if it isn’t my old friend and photographer, Phil Hefflin. You’re a long way from your home in Marfa, Texas.
Philip Hefflin: I had to get out of Marfa. It’s become such a tourist spot, because of its famous minimalist art galleries and the largest Dairy Queen north of the Pecos. I thought maybe Springfield could be my next art mecca.
Grampa: I don’t see why not. We got five fellas named Art living right here at the Retirement Castle.
Make Phillip Do a Candid Photo Shoot- 12hrs, Earns $420, 100xp

The Art of Abe Simpson Pt. 2

Philip Hefflin: This town is fantastic for artsy pictures, Abe. There’s nothing more artistic than broken down cars, slums, and strange cat ladies.
Grampa: Yep, they call Springfield “America’s Toxic Waste Dump” for a reason.
Philip Hefflin: Now all I need are some photographs of a broken-down old resident who has lost all hope.

  1. Happy New Year! 🧨🎉🎆
    Philip Hefflin is probably the best character in the event so far in terms of tasks. He has his 8 hour task at Whiz-Bang Toy Company and his 24 hour task at Abe’s Rainbow Statue. I love his visuals with the various types of Abe art he creates and Philip taking pictures of a squirrel and a random person. It is nice that there is some love for Grampa in the game with most of the prize characters being his admirers and his father.

  2. Phillip Hefflin is an interesting choice from the Writers / EA to offer up from Abraham Jay Simpson’s past (I thought they’d offer up his long lost Brother on that Island he crash landed on). Well, now I have a reason to keep the Statue out (24 Hour Character Task) 😉
